It depends how the money is spent in that department. An area the guardian just completely overlooks. Though of course I wouldn't expect them for one minute to consider "where" the cuts in spending were specifically targeted, just the headline of "Education budget cut"

If you read the article in full they do mention Michael Gove's cut to the civil service numbers.

Again I am asking - does anyone know of cut backs ministers are giving themselves. Just interested

No apparently spending on Parliament has gone up.
And spending on 'confection' at a certain department now stands at £45k per annum.
Guess which one?

and will this cut mean then that they will struggle to pay mortgages, keep their homes warm, clothes on their backs, twill be a drop in the ocean for them I'll bet. Well damn and blast! maybe it will mean they can't afford that special expensive wine which they might swig - Sorry but  I don't believe it will bring them much hardship

That is, unless they have any other jobs/sources of income, etc.

That's a tricky on as some have inherited wealth to fall back on. Wouldn't want a situation where only the wealth can stand as MPs. Think the present salary is about right it's the expenses that need to be kept under check.
